Debbie Wasserman Schultz Wins Primary in Redistricted Florida District Amid Controversy

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz won her primary in Florida's 20th Congressional District, defeating progressive challenger Elijah Manley and former Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick.
The primary was marked by accusations of 'district forum shopping' and concerns over representation in a majority-Black district, following a redistricting that created GOP-leaning districts.
Wasserman Schultz's decision to run in the newly drawn district has drawn criticism from Black leaders and activists within her party, as the seat has traditionally been held by Black Democrats.
